What happened in Mitchell Magic Tower had a profound impact on the human race and even the entire Dawn Continent. The news spread to all parts of the world in a very short time. Different people reacted to the news, but there was one place where people didn't care about this world-famous event for the time being.
During this time, the atmosphere in Gold-Panning Town was getting more and more tense. Three days ago, someone found some strange-shaped footprints on the edge of the Margan Desert. At first, there were only one or two, but now there were more and more footprints. In addition, there were also black figures looming in the yellow sand.
Everyone realized that something was about to happen. Perhaps it would happen in one or two days.
Whether it was the paladin group of the godly temple or the sorcerer group of the Association of Magic, everyone's expression became serious. The warriors were wiping their weapons repeatedly, and the magic professionals were adjusting their mental state to ensure that their magic and divine power were replenished.
On the godly temple's side, Loki, the commander of the second paladin group, was in charge of the armed forces in the town. He was only 51 years old and had a thick beard. He used to be Crowell's assistant, but Crowell resigned due to injury and applied to be transferred to Orc. After Grimm's reign, he took over the second paladin group. Loki was a calm man with outstanding martial arts skills. He had performed very well in the past few years, so he was sent by the pope to deal with the Margan Desert.
This time, Loki brought 19,000 people, almost all the elites of the second paladin group. In addition, he also applied for the support of two teams of priests, all of whom were masters, including six bishops and two archbishops.
Such a lineup was enough to take down a medium-sized country.
Flo was quite disdainful of Loki's cautiousness. In the whole of Gold-Panning Town, he was the most relaxed person. Two days ago, when the tavern in the town was closed, he brought some people there to make a scene. Tonight, he planned to hold a banquet at the place where he lived. For this purpose, he even found a few dancers from nearby towns. However, the carriages of the dancers were detained by the joint patrol team. Flo came to Loki in the afternoon to ask him to let them go.
He rushed into a small building in the northwest of the town with two guards. This place used to be a hotel in the town. After the people of the town evacuated, Rocky changed it into a temporary command room. Usually, he would stay here and handle military affairs. Furlow did not knock on the door and barged in directly.
Loki was in the room studying the map of the Margan Desert with a few captains. When he looked up and saw Flo, a trace of disgust flashed in the captains' eyes. However, they hid it well and immediately stopped talking. They saluted Flo at the same time.
However, Flo was too lazy to care about them. He didn't even look at them and said directly, "Captain Loki, who has the guts to detain my people?"
The captain of the second paladin group frowned. He didn't like the guy in front of him. Although Flo was also from the military, he had always been a civilian. He didn't have any achievements, but he was promoted very quickly. Until a few years ago, when he made a big mistake and was transferred to Grimm. In the end, he was caught in a prisoner riot and was taken hostage. According to witnesses, he behaved very badly at that time, begging for mercy in pain. It could be said that he was an ugly person. However, less than half a year later, he was transferred back to Saint Massa. Instead of being demoted, he was promoted and became the pope's personal guard. This time, he was sent to Gold-Panning Town as an assistant.
Many people suspected that Flo had a very strong background. However, Loki, as the absolute upper echelon of the military, knew a little more. Flo didn't have any special background. Although his parents were clergymen, they were only at the lowest level. The reason why the church was so lenient to him was because of him.
Furlow was an extremely rare Oracle, an existence even rarer than a fanatic. In the entire church, there were only two Oracles among the hundreds of thousands of clergymen, and the other Oracle was already more than 120 years old this year. Not only could he not walk, he was also blind, and the number of oracles he could receive was getting fewer and fewer.
Flo's importance to the church was self-evident. This was the reason why he could always be so arrogant. Even if Loki didn't like him, he still had to maintain the minimum level of respect for him. The captain of the second paladin group said, "He was detained by those magicians. Don't worry, I will help you get him after the battle meeting."
"Battle meeting? What's the use of this? " Flo said disapprovingly, "Didn't I say it very clearly before? There won't be any danger this time. Those monsters are just passing through. Their target isn't here."
A captain said unhappily, "Do you think it's not going to happen just because you said it's not going to happen? Those monsters crawled out from the abyss. The creatures in the abyss only have the instinct to kill. They don't have any rationality, and they won't listen to anyone's orders. This has been proven by countless people. If those things rush out of the desert and start attacking the nearby towns, do you know how many civilians will die? It will definitely be a catastrophe."
Flo snorted coldly, "Who are you? Do you think you have the right to speak here?"
The captain was furious when he heard that. He was already holding back his anger when the battle meeting was interrupted. Now that Flo still dared to be so arrogant, his temper was instantly ignited. He couldn't help but scold, "Who do you think you are? What time is it now? You only know how to eat, drink, and have fun every day. I don't know why His Majesty sent such trash here."
Loki knew he was in trouble when he heard that. He pulled a long face and said in a deep voice, "Michelle, don't criticize His Majesty."
Flo smiled faintly, "Michelle, right? I'll remember it. I'll report what you said today to His Majesty truthfully." After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Loki, "Captain Loki, I'll have to trouble you to send those dancers to my residence before sunset." After throwing this sentence, Flo swaggered out of the command room with his two guards.
Leaving behind the group of captains who were angry but didn't dare to say anything.
On the other side of the town, the Magician's Association was also making the final preparations.
One of the nine directors of the council, Milford grand magus, arrived at the town two days ago. Along with him was a floating fortress. Just the activation of this war machine cost 100,000 gold coins a day. In addition, there were batches and batches of magic cannons, magic discs, and large magic devices being continuously transported to Gold-Panning Town.
The Magician's Association didn't completely believe the words of the Temple of Light. They had already started their operations.
There was no magic tower in the town. The tallest building was a granary. Milford grand magus stood on top of it with his hands behind his back. He quietly looked at the desert in the distance. At this moment, there was only rolling yellow sand as far as his eyes could see.
However, the magic sentry a hundred miles away had already sounded the alarm.
On the sand dune that no one could see, there was a bloody crack. On the other side of the crack was the Abyss World that everyone talked about.
Monsters crawled out of the bloody crack one after another. This scene had been going on for nearly a year. Hence, the density of monsters near the crack had reached a terrifying level.
